Today’s Hollywood often aspires to go even further in economic terms. He even needs it. More investment, more waste, more franchises to achieve more profits. And when something goes beyond what is expected to be a vicious circle that is not always fulfilled, he panics. But there are many reasons why a movie can fall short, even if it is good.

Today this sensational proposal can be watch on television through Paramount starting at 10 p.m..

‘Star Trek: Beyond’: exploring the unknown
So, Star Trek: Beyond has a less self-congratulatory and serious touch than its predecessor, and tries to recover a very classic touch of the franchise. There is a 100% adventurous spirit here, with contacts with different alien races, a problem to solve with the ship and another to solve in the native civilization of the unknown planet.

The film also does a good job of developing the characters that had been recast so well in the previous installments, also developing the relationships between them. The result is fabulous, spectacular fun visually and with a sense of wonder that never hurts. Without a doubt, despite falling short of commercial expectations (it did less than its predecessor), it deserved a sequel that has been delayed for almost a decade.
You can see Star Trek: Beyond at Paramount starting at 10 p.m.
